Toxicity

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
" Subcutaneous LD50 values were 436 mg/kg for male, 625 mg/kg for female in mice, 761 mg/kg for male, 801 mg/kg for female in rats and more than 200 mg/kg for dogs."( Acute toxicity of muroctasin in mice, rats and dogs.

Compound-Compound Interactions

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
" 6,6'-Dideoxy-6,6'-bis-mycoloylamino-alpha,alpha- trehalose (TDNM) was found to be more effective in producing regression of transplantable line-10 tumours than 6,6'-di-O-mycoloyl-alpha,alpha-trehalose (TDM) when combined with 6-O-stearoyl muramyldipeptide (L18-MDP)."( Regression of line-10 hepatocellular carcinoma by a less toxic cord factor analogue combined with L18-MDP or synthetic lipid A analogues.

Dosage Studied

Romurtide was far more potent than MDP in induction of IL-1, IL-6 and TNF. The number of platelets was also increased significantly with repeated dosing of romurtide.

" It is concluded that muroctasin is effective as well as useful on the restorative activities against leukopenia in lung cancer patients after cancer chemotherapy, with the optimal daily dosage of 200 micrograms for six times by subcutaneous injections through phase II and phase III clinical cooperative studies in Japan."( [Muramyl dipeptide derivative and its clinical application].

" A comparative study of parent MDP and MDP-Lys(L18) in relation to the protection against infection with various pathogens revealed the same spectrum of antiinfectious activity, but a different potency: the greater strength of MDP-Lys(L18) was demonstrated both by the smaller influence of bacterial inoculum size on its activity and by the smaller minimal dosage required for inducing significant activity."( Stimulation of non-specific resistance to infection by muroctasin.
